nx windshield
Anybody ever have a new windshiekld installed in an nx?
I have scratches fron the previous owner not changing blades or something.
I fixed the squirters today,and was thinking of getting a new windshield,too.
For one thing I am hoping there would be new trim that comes with the windshield install.
150-200 bucks maybe???

I dont want to have my insurance cover it,due to deductable and the car has basic coverage anyway.

Sure, I'm about to do it in a few weeks (MOT advisory)

Here is my planned approach:
1.Aquire new windshield+glue
2.Cut along the edges of the old
3.Get in the car with a friend and kick the old out.
4.Clean up the edges, and apply paint so it won't start rusting.
5.Apply glue and windshield
6.Place large block of styrofoam on windshield, and use a adjustable strap to apply force safely to seat it properly
7.Wait

That's about it! Did my grandpas old Volvo Amazon a few weeks ago, not that hard!

I was thinking something easier...
1.) Call glass company
2.)Pay them
3.) see clearly again,and live happily ever-after.

I don't think there is any new trim that comes with it. Only comes with urethane from the glass company.
I bought the trim from Gspec sometime ago.
